Gabriel, Devil Hunter

If Doug Moench had set out to come up with a series solely for me during the Bronze Age, he couldn't've done much better than Gabriel, Devil Hunter.
Obscenity spitting demonic possession? Check.
Tortured one eyed, two fisted catholic priest? Check.
Leather-clad sexpot assistant making goo goo eyes at the hero? Check check and triple check.

Gabriel is a priest who now works as a freelance exorcist, having successfully expunged a 300 year old witch from his own body, costing him his place in the church, his wife, and one of his eyes. So everything then.
He's a great, brooding hero who only really comes alive when called upon to destroy evil, and would make a belter of a movie.
Sadly, the series didn't get the time to progress, running in 4 issues of Haunt Of Horror and the last issue of Monsters Unleashed, so each tale is, in essence, a variation on a theme. But what a theme.

Here, from that final issue of Monsters Unleashed, just before Marvel's black & white horror line went to the grave, is that last adventure, where Gabriel and assistant Drusilla ( who may, or may not, be his dead wife reincarnated ) set out to exorcise an honest to gravestone corpse:

All The King's Man

Here's a slightly odd piece, courtesy of Sal Quartuccio's Hot Stuf'. Sonny Trinidad is one of those Phillipino artists who kind of got lost in the rush next to giants like Alcala or Nino, but I always like the 'busyness' of his linework. This is a great example of that, with crowded layouts that amazingly work, and touches of Alcala, Nebres and even Buscema throughout. There's a couple of strange things about this strip tho', the first of which is the bizarre, stilted dialogue & captions. It feels like it was translated, and translated badly. Also it feels like a prologue, or at least a portion of a much larger story. When you get to the last page, check out the little 'fini' accompanied by a head shot of Lenka, our Red Sonja-esque heroine. I suspect this is a Fillipino serial that our pal Sal bought up a portion of, maybe with aims of printing the whole thing. It's good stuff, whatever it's source.
